The Prince of Poets Festival is aimed at promoting and enhancing classical Arabic poetry, reviving the positive role of Arabic poetry as a medium of expression, and discovering young talent and giving them the chance to develop and grow.
This is being achieved by organising a poetry competition broadcast on Abu Dhabi TV and the "Prince of Poets" channel. The poems are judged by a committee of experts and specialists in the various aspects of the poem in terms of rhythm and rhyme as well as meaning and sense. In addition, poems recitals are judged by the audience.
The Prince of Poets Festival is the first project that promotes the cultural and historical value of classical Arabic poetry to a mass audience. It connects poetry to the pulse of the community, and provides modern Arab poets with the opportunity to compete for the crown of Prince of Poets.
